Oregon Governor Tina Kotek supports local data-center development pauses until an advisory council’s recommendations are available.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said she supports pauses on data-center development at the local-government level. Her support applies until recommendations from an advisory council are available for consideration.

The source describes support for local pauses rather than announcing a statewide statutory ban. It does not identify the affected local jurisdictions, specify existing projects covered by any pause, or provide a start or end date.

No details were supplied about the advisory council’s membership, recommendation timetable, or subjects under review. The source also does not quantify the proposed projects, electrical load, investment value, or data-center capacity potentially affected.
